Moreover, because fine examples of lacquer and silk have actually survived from that time, we can see what other materials copied from them. But the only reason we can recognize borrowings is that each material has a character of its own. The lecture will explore this two-sided phenomenon\u2014the individual character of each workshop tradition and the exchanges between workshops\u2014by looking at inlaid bronzes, mirrors, jades, lacquers, and silks, using the problem of designing for a circular space as a case study to infer the thinking of designers working in each medium.\n\nWang Haicheng is Mary and Cheney Cowles Endowed Professor of Chinese art at the University of Washington, Seattle.

It argues that urban disparities are not an unintended consequence of the smart city; they are the foundation upon which it is built. \n\nThis event is in partnership with the Urban Tech Collective (UTC) at the University of Michigan\u2019s Digital Studies Institute. UTC convenes U-M faculty and students from various disciplines investigating the imaginaries, design, and use of digital technologies within urban everyday life. UTC investigates topics related to physical and digital spaces; mediated representations of urban space and urban communities; digital rights and inequalities; datafication; urban intelligences; and social change. The collective meets throughout the academic year to share research, methodologies, and best practices for the study of technology and urban life, to host speakers, and reimagine the role of urban technology scholarship, design, and policy in affecting more equitable, sustainable futures. \n\nThe DSI Reading Room is a conversation series featuring new books by Digital Studies Institute faculty and guest authors. Through public discussions, we explore emerging scholarship and the ideas shaping technology, culture, media, and society. \n\nBurcu Baykurt is an Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her research explores how digital infrastructures reshape and perpetuate urban inequalities.
